It's like growing a child. When you see someone's kid as a stranger it's obvious "what's wrong with it". Now fully immersed in the Kodak's diversified enterprise ecosystem, why exactly should you focus on consumer digital cameras?
The taxation and obligatory contributions on labor in Europe are brutal. Very quickly reaching over 40% in total in most countries. In the cities where there exist employment options, salary pays for housing, food, some going out, tiny savings and that's it. There is no point in working.
Actually many countries heavily tax all of them - labour, dividends, and capital gains. Especially Nordics, Benelux, France, Germany. Sometimes I wonder what's the point even of working and investing in countries like France, Belgium, or Denmark... yeah everything is so tidy, clean, and nice but you'll never afford any of it through employment.
German public broadcaster has enough budget to send humans to the Moon. Still better than nothing, they could simply traditionally increase the fee without anything new in return. Any news from them them is a slap in the face and is assuring me that moving out of Germany was a good decision.
Until today it blows my mind that western culture managed to virtually ban smoking in closed and indoor spaces. With unbelievable bribes and lobbying by tobacco companies. Watch any movie, music clip produced until 2010 - EVERYONE SMOKES, it additionally exploits the fact that video doesn't transmit smell.
It absolutely does. You need to end the chain of responsibility somewhere, and stuff that my grandfather did to your grandfather is beyond the line of what's reasonable.
My uncle is a lawyer in Europe who specializes in art law and I can assure you based on listening to him talk about cases, that you are likely to have to return the stolen art if there is sufficient evidence despite any inheritances or intermediate transactions (at least in the nation where he practices).
However, returning the stolen goods is on a different level from taking on the penalties or damages of the initial theft.
The economists mistaken one plus with minus in their models, and so the wealth is being vaccumed up instead of trickling down. Either way it boils down to these students not waking up early enough, not working hard enough, and picking wrong parents.
So who lives in all these sweet Dutch houses with doors painted in green, prostitues? Maybe paying a prostitute per hour will be chaper than regular monthly rent in Amsterdam.
